[at-l] 100% wool/felt tents

[adrigoal06 at yahoo.com]

No doubt pat. There should be more options is all i'm saying, instead of just polyethylene, polyester, vinyl and any other synethic plastics that people sleep in all those hours and times.  I woulndn't mind carry a slightly heavier but smaller tent made of natural materials.  The whole point of hiking to me is to connect with nature. Plastics is the opposite of that.  Yurts, tipis, tree huts didn't have any plastics in them.

I used to carry a lot more than lI do now, Im 64, Its pretty hard to enjoy yourself when you get to the top of that mountain and your gasping for air. But a lot of people carry huge loads and do just fine. Hike however suits you.
